I've just started getting into SDR - what receivers and transmitters are you using? Would love to give a similar project a go at my place!

- Jtsummers 2y agoRTL-SDR is an inexpensive way to get started, only a receiver though. Transmitters are more complicated (legally) since a lot of spectrum is off limits without a license in most jurisdictions. They have a kit with a couple basic antennas to get you started. https://www.rtl-sdr.com/buy-rtl-sdr-dvb-t-dongles/ https://www.rtl-sdr.com/buy-rtl-sdr-dvb-t-dongles/
- Joel_Mckay 2y agoThe RTL-SDR dongle with GQRX is highly recommended, and go well with a NanoVNA. https://www.tindie.com/products/hcxqsgroup/4-nanovna-v2-plus4/ https://www.tindie.com/products/hcxqsgroup/4-nanovna-v2-plus... LimeSDR are a bit more involved, but like most SDR transceivers still need band-pass filters and power amplifiers to perform well. Works well when combined with a GPS locked 10MHz GPSDO like a BG7TBL. =3
- staplung 2y agoIf you want to decode transmissions from common weather sensors, be sure to check out rtl_433 [https://github.com/merbanan/rtl_433 https://github.com/merbanan/rtl_433]. If you have and RTLSDR dongle, it should just work.
